Hello everyone,

 

I need some help from the community.
I would like to install the Unifi Controller on my OrangePi Plus 2e, but it requires mongodb see here... 

[root@OrangePi:mongodb]$ apt-get install unifi
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 unifi : Depends: mongodb-server (>= 2.4.10) but it is not installable or
                  mongodb-10gen (>= 2.4.14) but it is not installable or
                  mongodb-org-server (>= 2.6.0) but it is not installable
         Depends: mongodb-server (< 1:3.6.0) but it is not installable or
                  mongodb-10gen (< 3.6.0) but it is not installable or
                  mongodb-org-server (< 3.6.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[root@OrangePi:mongodb]$

 

...but mongodb is not present in the armbian repos... 

[root@OrangePi:~]$ apt-get install mongodb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package mongodb is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'mongodb' has no installation candidate
[root@OrangePi:~]$

 

I was able to install mongodb with the help of THIS manual and THESE binaries and it also starts successfully... 

[root@OrangePi:mongodb]$ service mongodb start
[root@OrangePi:mongodb]$ service mongodb status

Does anyone know a solution how I can install unifi or explain to the installation that I have installed mongodb?

Or is there another better solution to solve the problem?

the OS mongo packages are usually super outdated, not surprised they don't work.

 

Consider this container.  the linuxserver.io project builds multiarch containers for arm32, arm64, and x86.

thank you lanefu for your fast answer!

I have never used docker before.
Is there anything I need to be aware of?
How do I get the docker container, because it is mounted on my OrangePi?

 

Here are the dependecies from unifi... 

Package: unifi
Version: 5.12.35-12979-1
Section: java
Priority: optional
Architecture: all
Depends: binutils, coreutils, adduser, libcap2, curl,
 mongodb-server (>= 2.4.10) | mongodb-10gen (>= 2.4.14) | mongodb-org-server (>= 2.6.0),
 mongodb-server (<< 1:3.6.0) | mongodb-10gen (<< 3.6.0) | mongodb-org-server (<< 3.6.0),
 java8-runtime-headless, jsvc (>=1.0.8)
Pre-Depends: debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0
Conflicts: unifi-controller
Provides: unifi-controller
Replaces: unifi-controller
Installed-Size: 164519

Description: Ubiquiti UniFi server
 Ubiquiti UniFi server is a centralized management system for UniFi suite of devices.
 After the UniFi server is installed, the UniFi controller can be accessed on any
 web browser. The UniFi controller allows the operator to instantly provision thousands
 of UniFi devices, map out network topology, quickly manage system traffic, and further
 provision individual UniFi devices.

i have just tried to install unifi without the mongodb dependecies (which is deactivated by most of the instructions anyway) but even this leads to problems...

thank you for the tip you gave me about the docker container.
I have successfully run the controller through Docker and it works perfectly.
The best thing about the Docker solution, I can quickly delete or renew the "installation".

  

docks@OrangePi:/opt/docker$ docker ps
